Representative Bart Stupak (D-MI) reported that he's retiring after 18 years in Congress. He said he's retiring because he felt his main legislative goal -- a national health care overhaul -- was accomplished. In regards to that health care overhaul he accomplished, you might actually remember him as the abortion guy that was initially responsible for holding up health care reform in the House and made progressive Democrats mad. Then he eventually dropped his ridiculous reservations and sided with the Dems and voted for the reform, making conservatives mad. Pretty much everyone was mad at him at some point.
Heather: He's probably retiring because everyone was mad at him and he's worried they're going to make campaign signs against him that say "Bart Stupak...more like Stu-pid!" BOOM!
Eagan: ...I think we know who has a future as a political strategist.
Heather: I thought so myself!
Here's Stupak serving on the How to Cup and Grope Testicles Subcommittee
Oh I just thought of another great idea to put in my political strategist portfolio: "Bart Stupak: It's not a coincidence that his initials are B.S." I'm way too good at this.

Unrelated to this chump, I found this blog and thought you might like it: http://bakerst.squarespace.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome link! I checked it out and it is totally my thing -- design, architecture, peaking into people's houses...yes, please! Add the awesome factor that it's in DC, and it's perfect. I also checked our her other blog and am digging that as well. Thanks for the heads-up!
ReplyDeleteI liked her other blog, too. I especially expected you to like her "Door of the Week" regular. That seemed so you.
ReplyDeleteYou know me well!
ReplyDeleteI noticed there was a door/house picture from Provo, UT. It said she was in town for a friend's wedding. I wonder if she's from Utah, or her friend is just from Utah? But I was surprised to see a Provo house in there. Utah just doesn't seem like a state to me. It seems like a mythical place. So when I meet someone from Utah (outside of Utah), I'm like "what?! You're from Utah?!?" Like I can't believe it's so. Especially when I meet a non-Mormon from Utah. It's like I've found a unicorn.
I'm pretty sure she's from Utah, maybe even went to BYU. She's friends of friends of friends that I found when doing my weekly blog hopping/stalking (I've got eight hours of time to fill at work, and only so many episodes of tv online to catch up on).
ReplyDeleteMakes sense. There are in fact a decent amount of people from Utah in DC as there are tons of universities, government jobs (the CIA LOVES Mormons), and corporation headquarters here. I know a decent amount of people from Utah that end up here...but still, when I meet a new person and I hear they're from Utah, it still surprises me.
ReplyDeleteBlog hopping/stalking is the best.
